Monona Chamber and Economic Development plans search for director
By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times Editor
The Monona Chamber and Economic Development Board is moving forward with plans to find a part-time director.
At the city's July 7 council meeting, mayor Barb Collins said Harold Waterman is taking over on a volunteer basis until someone can be hired. He will then help the new person transition into the job.
"We want to see an energetic person," said Collins, adding that the position, which will be split between chamber and economic development duties, will not be about sitting in an office. "We need someone to go out and talk to people and businesses."
City park
Collins also reported that Monona Police Chief Jo Amsden said a rather large fight was recently broken up at the city park. That, coupled with trash around the new playground equipment and reports of kids riding bikes on the equipment, had the council concerned.
Collins asked councilwoman Randee Blietz, who is on the playground committee, if a set of rules has been developed. Blietz said rules have not yet been posted and welcomed suggestions. She said a direct edict from Collins or Amsden calling for the supervision of young kids, picking up trash and leaving the park by 10 p.m. might also be effective. She added that everyone will have to work together to help police the park.
"We might not feel it's our role to parent, but we, as a community, need to help," she said.
"We love seeing people there, but it only stays nice if people help out and work together," Collins added.

Thanks everyone for the commenting on my piccy.
digitall - I know it doesn't look sharp on here but its only a low res image that i have uploaded. Its always a problem with water drop shot.....where to place the focal point on the collision. I generally place it about 10% into the actual splash...that way you get a better DOF so the back of the splash looks in focus as well.

Very good, Since your a new member, welcome!
One this to keep in mind, - when you re size you image and save as new file name, dont upload yet. First open the new file, - check its sharpness (it will probably have loast from a little to a lot), sharpen as needed, then save, then upload.
Check out the member csurry for excellent water drop shots and also techniques.
Hope this is helpful, and have fun on the site.

Another ten pages from the PickUp Lines book. If you do well with PickUp Lines, then America\'s 10 Most Wanted is a good way to add depth to your stock. If you don\'t know, get some of both and build from there.
You know the 10 Most Wanted drill: The tikka-tikka-tikka as the girl's tats scroll across the screen, the elegant locations, the gorgeous photography, the jazzy music, the whole Tom Stone melange of elegant couples-friendly porn.
Then scenes here, two of them g/g —plus one that looks like a g/g until about halfway through, when a faceless guy enters the scene. Notably, Jill Kelly lavishes lingual attention on Vince Vouyer's love stick followed by Vince changing a position from mish to cowgirl by simply standing up —turning around, and sitting down. Nothing to it. Dee does double duty in a g/g with newcomer Victoria and a b/g with dependable pro Steve Drake, as does Vouyer with newbie Danielle and the aforementioned Kelly. One anal scene: the closer, with Hakan and Silvia Saint.

Late last year Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown read an article about a teenager who killed herself after being bullied online. That led to a partnership announced this week to help parents and educators learn how to stop this problem. On Monday Sheriff Brown joined the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and the Safe Surfin' Foundation (SSF) to announce the release of cyberbullying training. Brown said cyberbullying goes across both genders.
Bedford has a law that limits who can dump household refuse in the town's solid waste containers and what they can dump in them. A unanimous vote by Bedford Town Council last week raised the cost of breaking this law. The increase in the fines was prompted by widespread abuse of the town's public dumpsters by people who are not town residents or who are dumping prohibited items.
The Bower Center is embarking on a fundraising project in which 48 people will raise $48,000 in 48 days.
According to Marjory Milligan, who is organizing the project, the money is going to be used to replace windows. The windows in question, while not historic, are old enough that they are creating both an expense for the Bower Center and a discomfort issue for people attending the Center's programs. "They leak air," Milligan said.
Two expansions at the Bedford Area Family YMCA will enhance the Y's services to the community.
"We increased all of our cardio equipment," said Mary-Evelyn Sellars, branch manager of the Y's Moneta branch.
Kevin Christopher Colgan had made references last year on Facebook to wanting to have his estranged wife killed.
But on June 18, 2014, when he met with an undercover officer that he thought was a hit man, those inferences turned into solicitation. That meeting, and a second the following day, led to his arrest and Tuesday morning Colgan, after pleading no contest to the charge of solicitation to commit murder, was found guilty of the charge by Bedford County Circuit Court Judge James Updike.
The Liberty girls' basketball team hit the road on Tuesday for the longest ride of their careers. In the opening round of the Region 4A-West playoffs, the Lady Minutemen were to travel to Abingdon. For those of you who don't have the travel bug, Abingdon is located 163 miles from Bedford. That's 326 miles round-trip.
Currently , staffing at the Bedford Police Department is down by a quarter of its allotted slots and Chief Todd Foreman is hoping to soon fill those positions. In all, the department at full force would have 24 officers; currently there are 18, including Foreman. "We're trying to recruit," Foreman said this week. "We're having difficulties having good qualified applicants apply."
The Bedford County School Board is scheduled to formally present its budget for the 2015-2016 school year on March 23 to the county supervisors. On Monday, the supervisors were reluctant to comment on the budget prior to that presentation, but did question where additional funding would come from if that is eventually requested by the school board.
Bedford County's supervisors unanimously approved a resolution Monday endorsing a "Virginia Mountains" regional state tourism marketing designation for the county. Jerry Craig, the county's tourism director, told the supervisors the county is currently in the Virginia Tourism Corporation's "Central Virginia" marketing region. "We are the western-most county in the Central Virginia region," Craig said.
No one showed up for the public hearing last week on the county's revised comprehensive plan. The revised plan, which the planning commission has been working on since 2013, was unanimously forwarded to the board of supervisors after a revision on the section for parks and rec easements. "That sounds like a lot of easements," commented District 4 Planning Commission member Josiah Tillett after reading the section.

United States Patent | 5,021,949 |
Morten , et al. | June 4, 1991 |
The invention disclosed herein provides the basic operating capabilities of SNA data communications for host based application-to-application sessions across a packet switched network such as the Defense Data Network (DDN). The problem that is presented by the integration of these two technologies is that SNA is a connection oriented technology and DDN is a connectionless technology that requires an Internetting Protocol (IP) header on all information transmitted through the network and across multiple networks. One of the concepts of the invention is the definition of a localized SNA network to each SNA host by the channel attached Front End Processors (FEPs). These FEPs present an SNA PU4 definition to the host to allow it to carry out regular SNA sessions over the packet switched network to another host through its own respective FEP. The two FEPs working together imbed the SNA protocols in the IP datagrams and provide the proper SNA connections and control. This technique also allowed any host to access any other host for which it has authorization.

[[caption-width-right:281:Rapunzel (with, as she is often depicted, golden hair)]]
->''Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!''
Once upon a time, a couple lived next door to a witch with a beautiful garden. The wife developed such a craving for the rapunzel (specified as rampion in some versions) in this garden that the husband snuck into the garden and stole some for her. The longing increased, and the husband tried to steal more, only to be caught by the witch, who demanded their unborn child as a consequence.
Sure as her word, the witch took the couple's daughter and called her Rapunzel. When she was twelve, the witch shut Rapunzel into a tall tower without doors. Whenever she wanted to enter, the witch would call, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair", and Rapunzel would lower her [[RapunzelHair extremely long hair]] for the witch to climb. One day, a prince [[LoveAtFirstNote overheard Rapunzel singing]], and, having taken an interest in her situation, soon saw how the witch came and went.
He repeated the witch's trick, Rapunzel dutifully let her hair down, and the two made plans to elope. One day, however, Rapunzel [[IdiotBall accidentally]] revealed the Prince's existence to the witch, who [[TraumaticHaircut cut off the girl's hair]] and banished her to the desert. The witch then lay in wait for the Prince, and pushed him off the tower into a bed of thorns, which blinded him.
The [[StarCrossedLovers unlucky couple]] wandered the wasteland for some time (during which Rapunzel bore twins) before running into one another. Rapunzel immediately embraced him, weeping, and her [[SwissArmyTears tears fell on his eyes and healed them]]. He took her back to his kingdom, and they lived HappilyEverAfter.
The best known version of this story comes from Creator/TheBrothersGrimm, probably based on Giambattista Basile's ''Petrosinella''. Initially, Rapunzel betrayed the Prince's existence by remarking on how tight her dress was getting around the middle, but the Grimms decided that [[{{Bowdlerise}} this was too raunchy]] and so in later versions, she instead remarked that the witch was much heavier to pull up than her Prince.
The story may have been based on St. Barbara. Many of the older forms -- such as ''Literature/SnowWhiteFireRed'' -- appear more closely related to a tale type called "The Girl Helps The Hero Flee" -- such as ''Literature/TheWhiteDove''. Another variant is ''Literature/{{Prunella}}''.
A Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon version of this fairy tale was released in 2010 under the title ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' as a result of ExecutiveMeddling figuring a non-gender specific title would bring more people in. [[TropesAreNotBad It went on to become one of Walt Disney Animation Studios' highest-grossing movies of all time]].
!! "Rapunzel" contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion:
** Very prone to it. ''IntoTheWoods'' expands on the relationship between Rapunzel and the Witch (as well as Rapunzel's mental state when it's all over...) There is also a graphic novel, ''ComicBook/RapunzelsRevenge'', set in the Old West where the title character escapes on her own, uses her hair as lassos, and sets out to overturn the wicked witch's empire.
** Donna Jo Napoli's ''Zel'' delves into the psyche of the Witch, the Prince, and Rapunzel, including the effects of being locked in a tower and devoid of almost all human contact for months at a time.
** Regina Doman's ''[[Literature/FairytaleNovels Rapunzel Let Down]]'' retells the story in a modern setting.
** ''Series/OnceUponATime'' puts an interesting spin on the story: [[spoiler:The "witch" is actually just a physical embodiment of Rapunzel's fear, created when she ate something called Nightroot, which is a cure for anxiety.]] Also, the prince who rescues her is Prince Charming from the story of Snow White. As he is already married, they do not become a couple.
** ''Faerie Tale Theatre'' pads out the first half of the story, focusing on the parents. It's also implied that the witch hypnotized the mother into wanting the vegetables.
* AdaptationalHeroism: ''{{Disney/Tangled}}'' does this with the parents. In contrast to the original story, the mother is actually dying and she needs to be cured with a magical flower - that the witch was using to keep herself young. They take the flower unknowingly from the witch. And she simply steals the child rather than offering them to trade. What's more is that the parents disappear from the original story and never bother about the whereabouts of their daughter - [[spoiler:here, they were searching for her, and are reunited at the end]].
* BabiesEverAfter: Almost all versions end with Rapunzel and the prince living happily ever after with their two children (even if Rapunzel's pregnancy was not mentioned earlier on).
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the revised edition of the BrothersGrimm's story, Rapunzel (handling the IdiotBall) asks the witch why she's so much heavier to bring up the tower than the prince. This was changed from the original version, determined to be [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids unfriendly for children]], in which Rapunzel innocently asked [[TeenPregnancy why her dress was getting so tight around the middle]].
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: If Rapunzel's parents had just ''asked'' the witch politely for some of her greens, instead of outright ''stealing'' them, the story probably wouldn't have happened. (Then again, the witch might have refused, or asked for the baby ''anyway'' as legitimate payment rather than restitution, so who knows?)
* DamselInDistress: The titular heroine, who is locked in a tower and in need of rescue. Interestingly, however, the prince does not actually save her - she only gets out of the tower when the witch banishes her. In the end, ''Rapunzel'' saves the ''prince'' by healing his eyes with her tears.
* DefiledForever: The original version where Rapunzel gets pregnant and that's what tips off the witch. So Rapunzel is banished to a faraway desert.
* DumbBlonde: Rapunzel can come off as this in the Grimm version, where she carries an IdiotBall in her moment of forgetfulness to ask the witch why she is heavier to bring up the side of the tower with her hair than the prince.
* EnterStageWindow: The only entrance and exit into Rapunzel's tower is a window, through which she uses her hair to bring people up and down.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Rapunzel is not a princess in the original tale, being the daughter of two peasants. More than one adaptation, including ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', makes her a princess by birth.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Rapunzel's tower serves as her prison, doubling as this.
* EvilMatriarch: Rapunzel calls the witch "Frau Gothel," which means "godmother," While it could be just a formality, she is a literal godmother in some early French and Italian variants of the story.
* EyeScream: The Prince is blinded near the end of the story, either by falling into thorn bushes or by the witch scratching his eyes out.
* TheFairFolk: In early versions, the witch was a fairy. She sure acts like it!
* GirlInTheTower: Possibly ''the'' girl in the tower.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: The innocent, beautiful, pure, inaccessible maiden is blonde. Yup.
* HandicappedBadass: The prince may qualify, as after he's blinded, he ''still searches for Rapunzel on foot.'' Some versions have him do this for ''[[{{Determinator}} years]]''.
* HappilyEverAfter: After suffering at the hands of the witch, Rapunzel and the prince return to his kingdom in happiness (with their twin children in the original version).
* IAmNotPretty: Some variations give Rapunzel self-esteem issues, making her believe she's ugly.
* IdiotBall: Creator/TheBrothersGrimm gave Rapunzel this in their {{Bowdlerise}}d version when they have her, unprompted, mention the Prince to the witch. The first edition at least makes sense -- Rapunzel wonders aloud why her clothing no longer fits. Unsurprisingly, considering how the girl lived her life, she didn't know she was pregnant. The ''Faerie Tale Theatre'' adaptation removes the IdiotBall by giving Rapunzel a pet parrot who mimics the prince when the Witch comes to visit.
** The parents also carried an Idiot Ball, considering they lived next door to a woman they knew was a witch and then chose to even ''risk'' stealing from her. WackyCravings or not, that was just dumb in its purest form.
** However, in some versions, the mother's want for the lettuce is so strong that she faces death if she doesn't get it, caused by the witch herself, or both.
** In at least one version (and, again, ''Disney{{Tangled}}''), the mother is ill and the flower is a magic cure.
* IfICantHaveYou: Mother Gothel, of course.
* ImprobableHairstyle: Needless to say, human hair probably can't grow that long or be strong enough to climb up (not to mention a nightmare to maintain). Since she's living with a witch, AWizardDidIt could come into play -- suggesting that the witch enchanted the hair. In ''{{Disney/Tangled}}'' it's justified because the hair is a result of magic. Subverted in ''Barbie As Rapunzel'' where the hair is only floor-length - which is possible in real life, depending on the person's genes. And the maintenance is believable because she's only locked in the tower for one day.
* KarmaHoudini: In most versions, it isn't mentioned what happens to the witch after she banishes Rapunzel.
** It is often common in retellings to have her be stuck in the tower. The earliest known variant, [[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rapunzel/stories/petros.html Petrosinella]], avoids this by having her get eaten by a wolf.
* TheKindnapper: Some interpretations of the witch.
* KnightTemplarParent: [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Some versions]] of the witch.
* LawOfInverseFertility: Her parents had long wanted and never had a child. Apparently the witch also wanted a child. And in some versions, Rapunzel inconveniently becomes pregnant.
* LoveAtFirstNote: The prince for Rapunzel.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Rapunzel for the prince.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her father was pretty quick to accept the witch's deal of some rapunzel lettuce in exchange for his unborn child. Maybe she really was better off with the witch.
* PregnantBadass: Rapunzel. Living alone in the desert isn't easy at the best of times, especially for a pregnant woman who has no survival skills.
* RaceLift: ''Series/OnceUponATime'' gives Rapunzel one (and her parents by extension) where she is played by mixed race actress Alexandra Metz. What's more is that the script specifically called for a black actress to play the character.
** Raphaela Zilberger in ''[[Literature/FairyTaleNovels Rapunzel Let Down]]'' is Hispanic.
* RapunzelHair: TropeNamer.
* ShakingHerHairLoose: Some versions the story say that Rapunzel's long golden hair is braided or tied up 90% of the time, and it's only untied when Mother Gothel or the prince climb up it.
* SwissArmyTears: Rapunzel's tears unblind the Prince.
* TeenPregnancy: In the first edition of ''Grimm's Fairy Tales'', Rapunzel is actually pregnant. And gives births to two sons ([[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn in some versions a boy and a girl instead]]).
* TraumaticHaircut: Done to Rapunzel by the witch.
* WackyCravings: Rapunzel's mother's craving for a herb is what starts the entire plot.
* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened to the Witch?]]: In many, if not all, versions of the story, the witch vanishes completely from the story after blinding the prince and sending Rapunzel elsewhere. Where did she go? What happened to her? She just seems to go away, scot-free. Unless one takes the view that the cut hair fell away from the tower before she could descend, [[DeathByIrony leaving her trapped in there to die alone.]]
** Rapunzel's parents are never mentioned again after she is taken. Though considering they sold her to a witch, she might be better off...
* WickedWitch: In earlier versions, [[TheFairFolk a fairy.]]
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Rapunzel.

Below is the poem entitled Daddy Lied which was written by poet Christopher Bunton. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.

Best Christopher Bunton Poems
Daddy lied to his sweet little girl, wiping a tear and a golden curl. "You won't die" he lied, in anguished pain, Kissing her face again and again. "Don't Cry Daddy, it will be okay" She said. "Just hold my hand and pray" Daddy saw the doctor shake his head "No". Then, he knew it was her time to go. She loved him with a weak final smile, "Lay in bed with me a little while." He climbed in bed and held her tight, praying hard to save her precious life. Soon she fell into lasting sleep, leaving behind the world to weep. A normal old sonnet, for the beautiful lies contest.

What do Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, and Hayden Panettiere have in common? Hair colorist Anival Morales. The mastermind behind a long list of Hollywood's most vibrant locks may be based in Beverly Hills, but you can learn all of his tricks to care for your tresses right here. We sat down with Morales to get the exact tips he gives to his A-list clients, from the best hair mask (it's from the drugstore!) to the easiest way to prevent fading.
Your Foolproof Guide to Caring for Colored Hair
- 1 of 16
Don't Wash Before You Color
No matter your hair color, Morales' suggests you not wash your locks for two days before your color appointment. "This will help prevent any possible irritation to your scalp," he says. Skip any products that will prevent the color from penetrating your hair as well, like teasing powder or wax.
- 2 of 16
Do a Mask Every Week
"All colored hair needs a weekly mask," Morales told us. Luckily, you don't have to splurge. "L'Oreal has some amazing products for colored hair, especially masks!" Try the brand's EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care Moisture Deep Restorative Masque ($9).
- 3 of 16
Protect From the Pool
Chlorinated pool water doesn't just turn blonde hair green, it can also make dark hair fade faster. To prevent this, just follow Morales' tip: "Wet your hair with regular tap water and put a little conditioner in it before getting in the pool," he says. This will prevent the chlorinated water from penetrating the hair shaft. "Then rinse your hair right after you swim," he says. Bonus points for pulling your hair in a bun and letting the conditioner soak in for twenty minutes before jumping in.

Tips For Blonde Hair
- 5 of 16
Get The Right Shampoo
Pick a shampoo that's formulated for blonde hair, Morales says. "And limit volumizing shampoo," he says. "They expand the hair shaft and can make hair brassy."
We like Klorane's Golden Highlights Shampoo ($16) and John Frieda's Sheer Blonde Shampoo ($7). - 6 of 16
Do a Natural Rinse
When Morales' clients, like Britt Marling, start to get brassy, he tells them to do a chamomile rinse. "Brew a big pot, let it cool, then use it as a rinse," he says. "It will brighten your blonde."
- 7 of 16
Tone at Home
Still brassy? "Try a shampoo with a dash of violet to take down the brassiness," Morales told us. "You can use it once a week." Try KMS California's Color Vitality Blonde Shampoo ($16).
- 8 of 16
Get Shiny
"Everyone benefits from a color glaze," Morales says. "A gloss is great for blondes who want to refresh their color without going into the salon." We like Rita Hazan's Ultimate Shine Gloss ($26) in Clear or Blonde.
- 9 of 16
Tips For Brown Hair
- 10 of 16
Let The Color Soak In
Have brown hair? "The best thing you can do after you get your hair colored is not wash it for two days," Morales told us. "This lets the color grab onto the hair."
- 11 of 16
Do a DIY Glaze
"I have to tell you, John Frieda has a great color gloss for brunettes," Morales told us. He suggests doing a treatment every week if you notice your color fading. "It will give you that rich color again," he says. Pick up John Frieda Color Refreshing Gloss ($12).
- 12 of 16
Go Sulfate-Free
When it comes to buying shampoo, Morales suggest brunettes go sulfate-free, which will keep your color true for longer. We like Kerastase's Bain Croma Sulfate Free Shampoo ($40).
- 13 of 16EXPLORE: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Brown Hair, Hayden Panettiere, blonde hair, Red Hair, Hair Health, Colored Hair, Highlights, How To, Hair, Celebrity Beauty, Amy AdamsPHOTO: Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage
Tips For Red Hair
- 14 of 16
Lock in Your Color
Just like brown locks, don't wash red hair for two full days after your appointment. "Your hair is very porous after you color it," Morales says. "The color needs time to set."
- 15 of 16
Try a Red Shampoo
"I can't stress enough how important it is for redheads to use a shampoo formulated for red hair," Morales told us. This will keep your locks from fading, he says. Try Purology's Reviving Reds Shampoo ($33) or Davines' Alchemic Red Shampoo ($26).
- 16 of 16
Opt For Clear Gloss
Red hair needs gloss, too, but opt for clear. "Unfortunately, red hair glosses aren't made for most shades of red," Morales says. "It may not work out how you want." Instead, he suggests using a clear formula one to two weeks to keep hair bright. Try Oscar Blandi's At Home Salon Glaze ($27).

Nars on your desk can be very distracting.
March 28, 2009
Published in: Daily Photo
So far, 9 people have commented on this article. How cool is that?
Ooh!!!! So pretty!!!! Very distracting! It's like a shiny object is to a child.
NARS duos looks very nice, but I bought 3 different ones and returned 2 of them (Persepolis & Earth Angel) because I just couldn't figure out how to make them work for me. I ended up keeping Rebecca (shimmery pastely green + bronzy coral), but am still fumbling with that one. The MA said you're not supposed to wear them together, but then why put them in a duo?
What a beautiful duo! Which one is that?
Rated R? ( I saw the L'oreal HIP copy cat in the drugstore a while ago…)
Holy duo
I think yes, the Loreal dupe would work perfectly. -
Wait till you put it on your eyes! These colors will wake up any girls peepers!
wow, great suggestion for how i'll work my eye tomorrow! ;D
i love spring/summer colors! they brighten up your day more than what's expected hahanoi´s last blog post..Local Beauty: L.A. Colors and 4U2 in Manila!
ahahah love this post! i have it too and know what ya mean :>

Released: May 01st, 2002
Running Time: 77
Company: Typhoon Pictures
Johnny Toxic, Ahso Hashimoto, Mia Fuji, Damien Michaels, Star of India, Tony Michaels (I), Saki, Yuki
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: All-Sex
Filler for the Asian-loving desperate.
Ahso Hashimoto may have some fans who enjoy hideous stereotypes and awful jokes. Who these people are, we can't say.
When Hashimoto isn't annoying the viewer, he's trying to worm his way into sex scenes with sometimes-cute Asian girls. Mia Fuji is adorable, but she's clearly not enjoying the sexual ministrations of partner Johnny Toxic. At least Hashimoto gets her to crack a smile as he sings to her while he's finger-fucking her. Otherwise, Fuji remains stoic, enduring Toxic's cock and tugging half-heartedly at Hashimoto's meat.
Yuki, another cute Asian girl, appears thoroughly bored throughout her multipositional with Damien Michaels. The closer between Star of India (who's no spring roll) and Toxic actually works, but tighter editing would have served the scene better.

If you are arguing that there is no one in your organization with the programming skill to remove them, then it seems your organization is suffering from problems that JSLint cannot help you solve. But in any case, the "Tolerate messy white space" option will ignore those spaces. But my advice is to not use that option and write smart looking code instead.
- Yes, i realized that in {a: this} the value of "a" is the "window" value, not what we expect, because at runtime probably the object is not created yet,
so only a method that is called later could have the correct "this" value.
I think it would be great if JSLINT could display an error in this situation like:
var o = {
a : this;
Because i think is there a little confusion here what will be the value of "this".

Subject: Re: [jslint] this question
I don't think this is about block scope or functional sope. This is
probably because the function is executed when the script is being parsed,
at which time the outer object is not fully established, so the the keyword
'this' points to the window object.
Another funny aspect of javascript.

(Australia, England 22 Apr 1917 – 28 Nov 1992)
90.2 x 121.2 cm board
'First-class marksman' shows the isolated figure of Ned Kelly in the solid black armour that is Nolan's most inventive pictorial device, its flat abstracted shape incongruously placed against a landscape of lyrical delicacy. The title refers to an incident which took place in Victoria's Wombat Ranges, when Kelly and his gang were practising their marksmanship, firing hundreds of rounds at surrounding trees from a bullet-proof hide-out.
Nolan made many paintings of the outlaw Kelly between 1946 and 1947 at Heide, home of patrons John and Sunday Reed. This was the only panel in the series not painted on the Heide dining table, but at the house of Russian expatriate artist Danila Vassilieff at Warrandyte, where Nolan was caretaker for two months. Its informal swift and transparent rendering is a precursor to subsequent series based on outback Queensland, such as 'Pretty Polly mine 1948'.

Hotmail is making a cheeky move to tout the progress that their service has made in recent months. To show off what they think is a very strong product offering, they are letting anyone use any email address inside of Hotmail.
Today we begin rolling out a feature that makes it easy to use Hotmail with any existing email address. Just as you can use Microsoft Outlook with an address from any service, you can now do the same with Hotmail on the web.
To try it out, you just need to register and validate your email address… Hotmail will guide you through connecting to your old service and importing your existing email using POP, and then you can begin sending and receiving mail from Hotmail with your existing address.
This will be rolling out over the next few days, so there is a solid chance that your Windows Live Hotmail account will not be ready for linking to your normal email address (mine was not, making screenshots a non-possibility).
What features does Hotmail have that you might want to switch over to start using? According to the Microsoft blog post announcing the trial system they are especially proud of the ability of Hotmail to send "up to 10GB of photos in one message." I have to assume that that means what it sounds like.
Go to your live account and give this a try if you can. Heck, I haven't used Hotmail in years, maybe it's time to give it another try.
